Time to start using my time

As I've mentioned the past few months have been alittle slow for me at my company. Thus I've been doing some research and I think I should use this time to get some additional training. Some of the training is vendor related and free and some other training I can learn doing a self study and then pay to get the certification. Although I have to admit, it's little like going back to school and some of it might be pretty boring. But with this economy, people losing jobs etc, I should be using this time as best as possible to ensure I remain employed and/or have some certifications which could help me in future job prospects. Thus for the next few months I am going to try and focus on that. So today I am back at my desk,I have a home office but when it's not busy I just take my laptop to my living room and have the tv on, not really a motivating environment to focus on anything. I just got the training packet for my first certification. This might take me weeks to review/learn, not sure yet, I haven't opened it! LOL I am still trying to remain focused on getting in my workouts to lose the weight I've gained, so with these two objectives I should have plently do do. Ok now off for my morning walk with my friends, after that, I'm off to get certifications! Wish me luck that I'm not totally bored out of my mind and give up after a day!
